tA Friends cf both Morrison and
Gardner are claiming Granville
vvnty for their man. No one is
le to sav with any degree of assur
ance which will win in Granville
ccuntv. Both men have a largo
number of strong friends who are
(loins their utmost to carry their
candidates to victor on June 5. Up
to this time there has been no bitter
ness in this county, with the, con
tent a warm but friendly one. Then
there is Mr. Page who is gaining
ground all the time. He has Quito
a number of very strong friends in
the cov.nty who are standing faith
fully by their man. The Race made
bv the other candidates for the sev
eral positions on the ticket is a tame
one compared with the interest in the
race for Governor.
Only three more campaigning 'days
after today, and then the balloting.
A great many people think that there
will be a second primary to decide
the contest for Governor, and reports
from all over the State indicate that
Pa?e will be in the running.
The contest between Parham and
Watkins for the House of Represen
totives has precipitated a red hot
camnaisrn in every township in the
county. Friends of both candidates
are claiming a walkover.
Practically all of the candidates for
county commissioners were in Ox
ford last Saturday looking after their
political fenses. There are nine
candidates and the general trend is
to select five of the best men.
Geographical location may, in the
estimation of some, play an impor
tant part in he selecion of the board.
It is forty miles from the home of J.
Ennis Davis, the present chairman of
the board, who lives in the south
eastern part of the county, to the
home of Candidate W. L. Clark, who
lives in the northwestern part of the
county. The other candidates are

Mr. B. I. Breedlove, who has serv

"The abandonment of farm life by
men and boys during the past year, for
the city, has left more than 24,000 hab
itable farm-houses in New York State
vacant," said Prof. G. F. Warren in a
Farmers' Week address at Cornell Uni
versity, while the dispatches were tell
ing of people camping out in tents in
the overcrowded cities. As we have a
letter from a Pennsylvania farmer who
sees his fields going to weeds for lack
of help, but has counted as high as
"578 new automobiles in one day being
driven from Michigan through to their
destination." The result of this, ac
cording to one farm journal, is a shor
tage of 24,000,000 acres of wheat this
year, with a corresponding reduction
of other food products. As The Wall
Street Journal says, "the automobile
factories of Michigan and the Middle
West are calling the young men from
the farms, and the spinning-mills are
doing the same in the South, leaving
the land that once produced food and
textiles to bring forth weeds and thistles."
Mr. Richard H. Edmonds, editor of
The Manufacturers' Record (Balti
more), says:'
The decreasing tooa supply is a
very alarming situation. It endangers
our Government itself. The most se
rious question before America infi
nitely more so than the League of Na
tions or Democratic or Republican su
premacy is the salvation of our agri
cultural interests and the production
of an adequate food supply."
"Never has the agricultural situation
been so serious," agrees Mr. C. W. Bur
kett, editor of The American Agricul
turist (New York), who gives us his
view of conditions' in the following
vigorous sentences:-
graded
"There is no present prospect of
more food per capita of consumption
nor of lowered food prices," writes Mr.
Carl Williams, editor of The Oklahoma
Farmer-Stockman (Oklahoma City) In
an informing letter Mr. Williams goes
on to-say:
"The price of food must keep pace
with the cost of production of food or
farmers will quit the job. A steady
drain of labor to the cities during the
last few years has left the farm un
provided for. Twelve million acres
less of wheat were planted in the fall
of 1919 than in the fall of 1918, one
million acres less in Oklahoma. As
much as twelve million acres more will
be left unplanted this spring " in the
United States on account of late seas
onal conditions and no labor.
"Here is an estimated decrease of
250,000,000 bushels of wheat in the
United States alone compared with a
year ago. Every indication received
from foreign crop reports confirms the
prospect of a world shortage of wheat
and a world-wide increase in the de
mand.
"Farm labor will run this season at
about $7 a day with board. The price
of a man with team is running as high
as $12 a day. Farmers would pay even
these prices in the effort to feed the
world; but they can not get the men.
Food prices can not decline except un
der manipulative pressure, and then
only for short periods so long" as pre
sent labor shortage and present labor
prices continue. Food prices must in
deed, continue to raise until the prof
its from farming approximate those
received by city men and so reverse the
present drift from the farms to the ci
ties. The farms must be repopulated
or the world will go hungry."

'There can be no question about the

"Next winter there will be less food
in the country than any time during
the war, unless we have the most fav

way. Farmers are not hiring laoor
largely, because they are absolutely
unable to obtain help. The hired men
have all left and have gone to town,
where they are able to obtain about
twice as much as they can earn on the
farm. The average farmer is planning

"It is impossible that prices of food,
in view of general conditions, can be
lowered," writes Mr. M. N. Beeler, edi
tor of Farmer and Stockman (Kansas
City), because "there are too many
mouths to feed and too few producers."
To quote him further:
"The farmers of this country can
not produce the food that is needed ev
n tho they have all the labor that they
need. There is an acute farm-labor
shortage. Farmers are curtailing pro
duction to the acreage which they can
sow and harvest themselves. They
can not obtain labor at a price which
will enable them to employ labor at a
profit. The food shortage instead of
being relieved is certain to become
more acute as long as industrial condi
tions will pay a premium for the labor
wiiinb farmers ordinarily use. The

Several tobacconists ' of this sec
tion of the State who hare been to
Roberson county this State and in
Dillion, Marion and Harry counties
in South Carolina, recently, state
that the acreage is cut about 50
per cent, partly on account of the
scarcity of plants,, but mainly on
account of the low prices paid in
that section for tobacco last fall.
The South Carolina crop is sold
earlier than our people sell. Last
fall the tobacco there was marketed
before the tobacco companies found
out the crop was so short and they
took the tobacco at very low prices.
It is said that a boy bought three
hogsheads of tobacco early in the
season last year in Conway, S. C.
He shipped this tobacco to Wallace,
N. C, and sold it late in the season
and made a fine profit. He bought
the tobacco at 6 cents per pound or
$180 for the three hogsheads. He
sold it for $1,710 and made clear
of expenses $1,100.
Cannot Write More Than 100 In
Three Months Except On Govern
ment Permits.
(Washington Special)
In an effort to defeat the "indis- i
criminate" sale of liquor on physi
cian's prescriptions, Commission
Williams, of the Bureau of Internal
Revenue, issued a ruling today lim
iting the number of permits allowed
each physician to 100 for each three
months, except with "good cause."
The order, which Mr. Williams
said was issued "aftei4 weeks of study
and the investigation of records of
scores of physicians," makes it obli
gatory on the part of the physicians
to show where the liquor has . gone
before more prescription blanks will
be issued from the Bureau, v ;
- "It-may work some hardship,"
said Mr. Williams, "but we believe
that reputable physicians will not ob
ject to advising agents of the govern
ment the nature of their requirement
when more than 100 permits is need
ed for three months. Prohibition
agents, of course, must use judgment
in issuing new books of permits or
withholding them. They will not
refuse to issue them where a physi
cian is dealing with an epidemic, or .
where his practice is that of a specialist."

last Friday was the twelfth success

has rained.
Thus Fridav lias established a new

ever, if it must rain regularly on one

as good a day as any upon which to
